Tips on backyard parks?

Last year I built a pretty janky backyard setup and I'm stepping up my game this year. Does anyone have any ideas or tips on what I should build or what to use? I'm thinking about having 4 features and a toe rope out of an old tractor.

your town has free pvc if you know where to dig, might get a little wet doing so, so be careful

Build a bunch of flat pvc rails, you can arrange them any way you want by propping them up (A frame, dfd, df, etc...)

You need more height on your drop in and more distance to the feature. Seems to always be the case lol.

For flat bars make double or triple barrel rails with 2 inch PVC. Also try to get some culvert and make some stalls. Also have the tuffy.

I was just at Ace hardware and saw pvc tubes for super cheap. Im talking less than $2 for a 1" tube. Up to like $15 for a 4" one. All were something like 12-14 ft long. You could get three 1" tubes and set them up as a flat top rail for real cheap. And some bigger ones for slightly more.
Or you could find contruction sites, usualy around this time they are wrapping up and you can find scrap tubes near the dumpsters. The quality and selection is often limited though. But then it's not even stealing, the construction guys literally encouraged me to take a few last time haha
